Saw it tonight and I was pleasantly suprised. Just as I thought, Mann and Yerkovich didin't ruin their baby. Farrell and Foxx made a pretty decent Crocket and Tubbs, though I really have to question the casting of Castillo..wtf? I mean he was cool, he just..was very not-Castillo like.
Much like Collateral it was very flashy and intense, and of course, violent. I'd have to say it's one of the only "remake/remix" films they've done that I've actually thoroughly enjoyed.
Anyone else catch it? If not, I recommend it, you just might like it, and if not, you can hit me with a Nerf football or something.

I didn't watch the show and actually still don't, but the movie looks good. What is the name of the song they play in the commercials, it sounds familiar (Hold On?)
I read a review of it a few days ago that pissed me off. Basically it said the movie took itself way too seriously. Gee I am sorry, all tv remakes for movies can't be a classic like Starsky and Hutch (I hate you Ben Stiller)

I gotta ask. How did they do it? Totally straight? Any nods to the series?

Yikes.
Here's the more important question - how was Colin Farrell? Did he have a facial expression change at all?

Did they play Jan hammer? If not, i refuse to see it. I refuse to see it no matter what, I violently hate this film with a passion. New Miami Vice is like new ECW, it is a plague on society that those in charge of our entertainment have no new ideas and have to rip off and bastardize old ideas. It has been going on for a couple years now with garbage like New Dukes of Hazzard (what a flop) and New Battlestar Galactica (Starbuck is not a pregnant dog). I will sit through the dumb ass episode with Trudy being abducted be aliens who look like James Brown and all the dumb ass Sunny heel turn episodes before I watch this crap film. Like new ECW, if you are not going to get the real guys back and do it right then do not do it at all. If you want to do it long term, then mix in young guys later, but it has to start with the original guys and the real stuff. The only guy they asked from the real show to do the movie was Olmos and he saw what a pile of crap it was and told them to stick it (for a guy to turn down something for being crap who was in fake Battlestar Galactica and Selena says something). I watch the old series 3 times a day on Sleuth (actually the same episode 3 times per day) and real Miami Vice from the 1980's hold up as well now as it did 20 years ago without any updating to be trendy. I remember Jaime Fox when he was the least interesting person on In Living Color and he is a big nothing. Hollywood comes up with a Jamie Fox every 5 years (10 years ago his name was Will Smith) the token black star to get blacks to the theatre while not offending whites (they wanted to do the same thing with Rock too). Colin Ferrell is the typical foreign pretty boy Hollywood puts in crap action movies to make the panties of women wet so they sit through them with their boyfriends (Ferrell's name used to be Liam Neeson). Ferrell is a super nothing who will be forgotten about and replaced in 2 years by the next generic heart throb of the moment. I remember real actors like Martin Ferrero (Izzy rules the universe), Philip Michael Thomas, John Diel (how the luv does the dumb ass movie have a Zito when Zito got killed), Olivia Brown, Michael Talbott, et cetera. Even those who could not act like Olmos and Don Johnson had characters that could carry them and fit who they were. Therefore I will not accept a teeny bopper crap half assed rip off that prostitutes the real thing. The real Miami Vice had everything, drama, action, comedy, great music, cool guest stars, et cetera and the crap remake has nothing. |

I'm going to see it with my pal on Friday From the looks of the trailer it looks like it's being played very straight. Mind you any nods to the series will go right over my head probably since I was just a wean when the original aired However, if they make it obvious enough then I might get it lol (Ala Starsky & Hutch) So I might bump this thread up in a week if it's good.................And even if it's not, I'll lie so that people will go and see it anyway |

You are absolutely right. Jamie Foxx is a big nothing. And that Academy Award? It's a facade.  |

So what he decides to do with it should be up to him. |

Well uhmm..I..liked it >_>
And I'm a fan of the original series.
And no there's no Jan Hammer, but the score is still pretty good anyway. I believe Hammer refused to do it.

All this movie was to me was traffic part 2 the only thing really miami vice about the movie was the names of crocket and tubbs. And wtf they didnt have crockets boat nor his alligator I mean wtf! lol No Saint Vidas Dance No Jan Hammer because he told them to stick it like Olmos did. No Elvis the watch Gator and ex Florida mascot. Does not sound to me like Miami Vice, buut what the f*** do I know, I only have commited all 5 seasons to memory. Just call this movie SWAT 2 and be done with it. Collin Ferrell is the king of television bastardization he did it to SWAT in the same way. News flash Academy Awards mean zilch they are just the same Hollywood slobs pumping each other up every year for films nobody watches. Michael Mann Lover and Anthony Jerk off o vich are the Heyman and Dreamer of Miami Vice, whores prostituting it for a buck. Just like Heyman and Dreamer they justify it by saying the studio / McMahon was going to do it anyway. The new Miami Vice like the new ECW is the same old studio picture with a famous rebel name stuck on it. Mann and Jerkovich can not get work in Hollywood doing anything else and no they do not have a right to rip off fans. New Galactica sucks almost as bad as Galactica 1980. The real Galactica had way more viewers it just had too high production costs to justify the ratings. New Galactica is another half ass science fiction show done cheap on a computer with no name no talent actors so no wonder it survived 3 years. Cylons are cool robots not dumb ass models and John Colicos is the greatest heel in the history of television (real Galactica mark out moment).; |
